HP error 75: Quick solutions to fix it when it pops up

Are you trying to copy or print using your HP printer and you get a HP error 75?

Here’s how you can fix this in no time.

How to fix HP error 75

Solution 1: Check the power cable

HP recommends that the printer should be plugged in directly to a wall outlet, not a surge protector or battery backup, which may not allow sufficient voltage to get through to the printer.

Sometimes HP error 75 may occur during the printing or copying process, when the level of current passing through to your printer, if using a UPS, surge protector, or power strip, fluctuates slightly causing inadequate power supply to the printer.

When there’s inadequate power supply, you can get symptoms such as:

Inexplicable or false error messages for instance the HP error 75

The printer won’t ‘wake up’ from sleep mode

Incorrect printouts

Slower printing (than normal)

Printer control panel display goes blank or shows jumbled characters

Monitor shuts off or loses power

Paper jam from halfway done print job

These and many other symptoms can be very frustrating.

Connecting or plugging directly to a power outlet on your wall ensures that a consistent level of power is supplied to a printer, which prevents any printing problems. It is also important when you are experiencing wireless connectivity, sleep mode, and other power problems with your printer.
